In the list of what may bé called the chief characteristics of our pre- sent cra may be found the assertion that this is an age when "nobody has any time." On this point prac- tically all the observers and critics of our social order are agreed. They draw their proof for this as- sertion from the ever-increasing speed of our means of transporta- tion. A half-hour reduction in the lime it takes to go from Montreal to Toronto; a mile added to the record of the number per hour in aéroplane travel; a half hour gained in a trans- Atlantic trip--these are events that our hurrying age greets with joy. We have no time to dally. Thus runs the lament of the critics. But is it indeed a matter of such grave concern? True, there was a time when men had more leis- ure than they take to themselves to- day, but we have yet to learn that in those days man had a greater abund- | ance either of social progress or hu- man happiness than we have to-day. We can't deny that we are in a hurry, but as compared with more leisurely periods in history it isa't to b¥ denied that we get things done. Se ---- MOTHER'S BUSY SEASON. There are some weeds to be dug. crops to be gathered in, fences to be mended and cows to be milked, but down on the farm this is the season when mother is the busiest person alive. Soon there will be roasting ears in hampers brought from the fields, peas, tomatoes ahd cucum- bers ready for canning; wiid cher- ries, peaches, plums, early apples and blackberries in buckets, tubs and pans. The rich aromatic pungency of sweet spices, cinnamon, cloves and ginger fills the air. And in stained pulp bags dripping purple juices, white plates of golden brown discs in the sun, and full, steaming con- tainers on the stove, there is promise of jelly, jam, preserves, pickie and sauce, Busy fingers peel, cut, slice and pity stir, pour, bottle and cap, seeming never to ask or find a mo- ment of relaxation. Quietly but hur- riedly, for the fruit may spoil, the work is carried on until shelves are stocked with the good things that make a house a home, On a smaller scale canning is done in the eity. Despite the development of wholesale preserving, no substi- tutes for products prepared at home have been found. Even in the two- room, light-housekeeping apartment one or two jars of peaches, plums or grapes reverently are being laid aside until winter comes again. Then when the last robin has winged its way to the south and the shrill wind of winter demands en- trance to the home, mother will go to the pantry and proudly produce a jar, can or bottle. The hard work on long, hot days will be forgotten; the memory of abundant fields, of juicy fruits and luxuriant gardens will remain. This és the season mother tries to keep until it comes again, Alas, however, such mothers are not always to be found in the city these days. But many a city man has proud and reverent memory of such, a mother--and of such de- lectable concoctions as Her dear ands prépared for her loved ones. ! OUR RADIO EARS, The ordinary house fly, as every- one knows, has thousands of eyes. Each of them gives him a different picture of his surroundings. All his eyes, however, are bunched together, and every cye sees almost the same scene. The only way Mr. Fly can seo something new, is to go to the new place, and take his generous supply of vision along with him. Mau is pretty much in the same fix. His two eyes see just about as much as the fiy"s many eyes, and he has to move hig whole body around the world, if he wants to feast his eyes on some new picture. Photo. graphy and the printing press have' of course, dome something for man. They bring him more or less faith- THE DAILY #0 it also provides many fine things for us to hear. Some of us, a very limited few, can find the time and the means to travel and see soinc small part of a beautiful world. The rest of us must stay at home and be content with what we can learn from pictures and books. Also, some few of us live in the great centres where the feasts for the ear are to be found, and some of us can go and hear them. But here again, most of us, cannot ; hear things, or could not until] radio came. Radio broadcasting extends our ears, Even to-day, with this new art starting its fourth year, we send our ears into a dozen different places of amusement, almost any time we wish to. We can send them to grcatl cities to hear the symphony orches- tras, we can send them into the churches to hear the famous preach- ers, we can send them into the studios where carefully chosen art- ists have come to sing or play for us. We can send them Into the hotel dining rooms where dance orchestras are playing, and we can send them to banquets and conventions. ADVERSITY A SPUR. Are you up . against it? worry. It's up against you. Eight years ago Alfred Floegel ar- rived in New York from Leipsig un- able to speak English and without money or prospects. But he had himself and a will to work. Aad work he did, as house painter, stucco worker, ship's painter and kalso- miner. As much time as he could ne spent in his squalid little studio, for his ambition was to be an artist, not an artizan. So it is announced that he has won the Prix de Rome, which entit'es him to a three years' resi- dence in the Academy of Arts ana 0 an income of $3,000 a year. Floegel was up against it, many times. But it was up against him. Adversity seldom keeps a good man down. For adversity makes him work the harder, and the harder he works the more the good that is in him is made strong and dominant. They say that when nations be- come rich and powerful they turn to the arts and win fame in them. That is largely true, for a young na- tion like Canada, hewing its way in the wilderness, hap little time for the cultivation of life's finer side. That will come in the fulness of time. But this must be said, that they who will win fame for this coun- try in the arts will be--as were those who won immortality for Italy and Greece--chiefly those who must fight their way. Nations turn to the arts in the day of their prosperity, but their fame is won by men who battle with adversity. Don't PRESS COMMENT -- Britain and John W. Davis. Mr. John W. Davis has been no- minated Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States. That fact, perhaps, is of greater in- terest for Englishmen than all the vast and confused American issues --domestic and foreign, religious snd soclai--from which so satisfac- tory a result has at last emerged. To them, at least, it cannot but be satisfactory. They have no desire to be thought to take sides in Transatlantic politics. They do not count on any special sdvaniage to themselves in the triumph either of Republicans or of Democrats in the forthcoming Presidential election. But they know Mr. Davis at first band as few candidates have ever been known ir England before; and it is of natural interest to them that a maa who has lived amongst them 2c one of the most sympathetic and compaient in. the long line of dis- tinguished American Ambassadors should be chosen so soon after his return as a popular leader in his own country.--London Times, WHY THE WEATHER? | Secretary, American Meteorolegionl Boctoty, Tells How. ful reproductions of distant and things, and, the motion picture puts a measure of animation into these images. But the fly can see the pictures too, so man is not much better off, 80 far as seeing is concerned. The pictures may not mean much to the fly, he may misinterpret them, but man frequently makes the same mis- take, and no one would choose to look at even a motion picture, rather than see the scene itself. : Man's ears were even more limit- ed than his eyes, He could see great distances, he could look iuto the very | depths of space, and with the wel | scope and the microscope, wee thew | greatest and the smallest (or almost 'the smallest) things in the universe.

You have had swelling of the joints, or pain in joints, or in the back, and have gone to your family physician regarding same. He overhauls you thoroughly and tells you that rheumatism is not a mysterious ailment any more, that there is some definite cause, that he will try to locate the cause, and with your help get you free from this painful and serious invader, After finding no evidence of trouble in the tonsils, nor history of sore throat, nor any trouble with the nose or ears, and no history of con- stipation, he concludes that there is nothing left but the teeth, and tnsre at the roots 'are some slight areas of infection. \ In consultation with your dentist he suggests the removal of those teeth that look suspicious to say the least. The dentist in his endeavor to pre- serve a good grinding surface for you rather hesitates to remove these teeth. He sees more teeth than your doctor, and a great many of them show these slight infections at the roots, and there is no trouble in the joints or elsewhere, Naturally he is inclined to disagree with your doctor, and you are up against the proposition of offending your doctor or your dentist, Now a dentist should know more about teeth than a doctor, and you may therefore feel inclined to do as your dentist advises. Now this is my point. Your dentist knows more about the teeth than your doctor all right, and often understands the body as a whole very well, but just the same the doctor is treating you for a gen- eral condition of the blood, due to some poison, and as he cannot locate the cause anywhere else, he is na- turally justified in blaming it on the teeth. It he asked you to have the teeth removed before investigating every other source, then you and your den- tist would be right in objecting to this. You see one tiny abscess at the root of a tooth may contain such a virulent poison, that your entire system can be poisoned thereby. Fortunately nine times out of ten the dentist and the doctor agree as to the course to pursue, because a dentist's training now, is of such a nature, that he is in a position to ap- preciate general disturbances of the system. vi i But, where you are up against this difference in opinion, remember that your doctor is responsible for the relief of your rheumatism, and you must co-operate with him to the fullest extent, Tenth Anniversary Of the Great War August Sth, 1914.

There once stood the splendid Fort Prince of Wales, in its time greater than the fort at Quebec. Its massive walls, three hundred feet along each side, were thirty feet wide at the base and tapered to twenty feet wide en top. They were built of dressed stone, and enied in great bastions which guarded each of the corners. Forty great cannon were mounted in the fort, numerous enough and powerful enough to fling defiance at any enemy which dared' penetrate the fastnesses of Hudson's Bay. The ancient company, the Hud- son's Bay Company, spent forty years at work upon the fort. Within ils walls were buildings which: were used as living quarters for the trad- ers and soldiers, as storehouses for food, furs and trading supplies, sad as offices for business and adminis- tration. Samuel Hearne, the discov- erer of the Coppermine river, and the first white man to reach the shore of the Arctic Ocean overland, commanded the fort in 1772, whes, on this day, he surrendered it to a French fleet which threatened to be- slege it. He had only thirty-nine men in his command, where four hundred were needed to guard its walls and man {ts great guns Hearne perhaps hoped to secure rea- sonable terms by surrendering with- out bloodshed, but the triumphant invaders turned the inhabitants out into the woods to fare for themselves and get their troops to loot the fort.
